Test-drive program brings in $4,500 for high school

Yorba Linda High School earned more than $4,500 in the Drive One 4 UR School fundraiser in November.

Ford Motor Co. recently presented the school's sponsoring PTSA with the check, which is to be shared by the participating clubs that helped with the event.

In the Drive One 4 UR School program, Ford donates $20 for every valid test drive and survey completed, up to $6,000. Yorba Linda High received more than 200 test drives.

Fairway Ford and Ford Motor Co. have partnered with Yorba Linda and Esperanza high schools for this fundraising event every year since 2009.

"We know funding for school programs is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available," said Dave Patton, general sales manager at Fairway Ford. "We're pleased to help raise money for our high school groups."

Fairway Ford is at 1350 E. Yorba Linda Blvd., Placentia.
